Teacher Xiao Zhou took out a sheet of stickers from the drawer. It was covered with small apple stickers. She tore off two and stuck them on Xiaoyu and Xiaoli's foreheads respectively.

"Only children who perform well can get the little apple stickers!"

"Hurry up and thank Teacher Zhou!" Qin Man said to the children with a smile.

"Thank you, Teacher Xiao Zhou!" the brother and sister said in unison. They inherited their parents' looks and were plump and fair. The sister was adorable and the brother was smart. They were very lovable.

"You're welcome!" Teacher Zhou couldn't help but pinch their little faces.

Xiaoyu touched the small sticker on her forehead and grinned happily, revealing her little teeth. Her little pear-shaped teeth swirled in, looking as brilliant as sunflowers.

Xiao Li is more arrogant. Although he is happy, he does not show it on his face easily.

After leaving kindergarten, Qin Man and Jiang Cong went to buy a bicycle. They spent 180 yuan and bought an 18-inch Phoenix brand bicycle.

In the past few years, materials were scarce and luxury items like bicycles were in short supply, so if you wanted to buy a bicycle you had to use a bicycle ticket. In recent years, the situation is not so tight, so if you want to buy a bicycle you no longer need a ticket, you can buy one as long as you have money.

This was Qin Man’s first means of transportation in the 1980s. At that time, it was quite a feat to own a Phoenix bicycle by one’s own ability.

However, bicycles were the main means of transportation at that time, so you had to apply for a bicycle license.

Go to the relevant agency to take the exam, then pass the theoretical knowledge test, provide the model and brand, as well as the owner's name, and after passing the exam, you can get a driving license, and from then on this bicycle is legal.

Jiang Cong has always been able to ride a bicycle, so for him, getting a license is easy, so there is no need to worry.

Xiao Li and Xiao Yu were even more excited than Qin Man. In the countryside, only a few families had bicycles, so they could show off wherever they went!

What’s more, their brand isn’t even as big as Phoenix. This brand new bicycle is simply too beautiful.

The brother and sister have always envied the children in the village who have bicycles. Every time they go out to visit relatives, their father lets them sit on the bicycle seat, which is so cool.

"Dad, I want to sit!" Xiaoyu stretched out her chubby little hands and asked Jiang Cong to hold her.

Qin Man held the bicycle, Jiang Cong picked up Xiaoyu and put her on the back seat, then picked up Xiaoli and put her on the front seat, then pushed the bicycle and took them away.

Xiaoyu was so excited that she kept giggling, and her laughter sounded like silver bells. Xiaoli was not that exaggerated, but he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

Jiang Cong and Qin Man looked at each other and smiled. The happy smiles on the children's faces were what they looked forward to seeing the most.

Finally, she had to go to the library to buy some English books. She planned to teach them the alphabet first. After they had learned all 26 letters, she would teach them the most basic spoken language, two simple words a day. Over time, with more learning, reading, and communication, they would be able to learn it in a few years.

There were quite a few English books in the library, but they were not what they could learn, so Qin Man bought a few picture books and bought small school bags for them at the market.

At that time, there were no cartoon school bags, only canvas bags, some for shoulders and some for cross-body, with words like "study hard and make progress every day" printed on them.

Xiaoyu picked out a bright red backpack with the four big characters "Study hard" written on it. It was double-layered, with no zipper, only buckles, and a sense of age was evident.

Xiao Li picked a crossbody bag, which was a simple design, dark blue with a tangram printed on it. The different aesthetic tastes of the brother and sister also reflected their different personalities.

The younger sister is lively and cheerful, and likes bright things, while the older brother is stable and reserved, and his choices are also low-key. .c

One is like the father, the other is like the mother, so their personalities complement each other.

I also bought a box of Chung Hwa brand pencils. At that time, the only pencils available were green ones with the logo printed on them. The erasers were white-striped erasers. The brother and sister each got one, and each got a metal pencil case.

Teacher Zhou also asked that each student have a number book for doing arithmetic and a field book for writing. Qin Man bought a lot of them. If you are studying, these books are indispensable and should be kept at home.

She also bought sketchbooks and watercolor pens for the children to improvise and cultivate their hobbies.

Qin Man didn't buy them aluminum lunch boxes for eating and glass cups for drinking water, for fear that they might get hurt if they were accidentally broken.

So I bought them plastic water bottles. At that time, plastic water bottles came in all kinds of shapes, including ones with fish, rabbits, and of course, some more normal ones that looked like pesticide bottles.

There is also a rope on it so you can carry it on your back.

It goes without saying that Xiaoyu definitely likes rabbits. Xiaoli is more low-key and chose the one that looks the most normal to him, the one that Qin Man thinks looks like a pesticide bottle.

All the things the teachers needed had been bought. Qin Man bought them some egg cakes and some bananas, and the family of four pushed their bicycles home.

I passed by the vegetable market on the way and bought some vegetables. I have to say, this kind of life is really comfortable.
